OJ Blaq, a Ghanaian rapper who faded out for over a decade before returning to do urban gospel with his freshly released “I Am Blessed,” has stated that he has no objection to any of his previous songs being played.
It will help the younger generation learn about OJ Blaq’s secular songs before his U-turn, according to OJ Blaq. He went on to say that if you understood the old guy, you’ll comprehend the new him. He stated this in an interview with an Accra-based radio station.
“I don’t have a problem with my old songs being played because if you don’t know the old me you won’t understand the new me. There are a lot of young people who are now growing and did not meet many things so this will help them to know the difference he stated.”
Speaking about his new album, he explained that he was inspired by the difficult circumstances he has faced, particularly his battle with renal disease.
Andy Nii Akrashie, better known by his stage name OJ Blaq, was one of the first performers to be signed by Lynx Entertainment in 2006, with Eazzy, Asem, and Zigi. In October 2009, he published his debut album, which included the smash song “Chale Wote.”
In 2006, producer and singer-songwriter Richie Mensah founded the Ghanaian record label Lynx Entertainment. It continues to nurture some of the most well-known afrobeat performers, like KiDi and Kuami Eugene, and is regarded as one of Africa’s top record labels.
